Grow or Die

by CD Richards

From one acorn a massive oak will grow
The mighty river starts as but a stream
A drop of rain announces each rainbow
Each great advancement started as a dream

A childhood sweetheart once became a spouse
From little girl she grew to strapping lass
With timber and some nails we built a house
In which our goods and chattels to amass

To grow, there must be light and warmth, it's true
A flower turns its face towards the sun
Our lives were barren soil where nothing grew
You felt it too, I'm not the only one

To last forever never was our fate
You simply can't reap love by sowing hate
